Employees at a business found a backpack over the weekend that may aid authorities in finding the man who robbed a bank, according to a search warrant application made public this week.

Police were notified Saturday that employees of the SpeeDee Oil change on Hendersonville Road found a backpack containing a large sum of cash that appeared to have been damaged by a dye-pack device, according to the court document. The money inside was similar to the amount taken about 12:20 p.m. Friday from Asheville Savings Bank, about 200 feet away from the oil change business.
